Quebec: Muslims take author to court for revealing truth about Islamic school

It is unjust and a threat to every freedom-loving individual when even one person who actively upholds democratic values is singled out, punished, accused and excoriated for speaking the truth in defense of free society. Author Djemila Benhabib told the truth about what she witnessed firsthand at the Muslim School of Montreal (Quebec, Canada), and she is paying a stiff price for it. This is wrong, and threatens far more than her personal interests.

“The school’s societal model is not the Quebec societal model,” she said. “It is not Quebec values.”

She said her comment about military camps was not intended to refer to terrorist training camps, as alleged in the school’s lawsuit. She was referring to a hierarchical atmosphere, where there is no room for questioning and texts are interpreted literally, she testified.

Benhabib added she recognized her comments could be hurtful, but she stands behind them. “My criticism was severe because what I saw was serious,” she said.

Here is an example of deception and an absurd warping of the truth:

Cross-examined by the school’s lawyer, Julius Grey, Benhabib acknowledged that she has not spoken out against sexism in religions other than Islam.

Well, of course sexism exists ubiquitously, but what other religion stones women for being raped? What other religion advocates and practices the beating of women who disobey their husbands (a practice that is based on the Qur’an (4:34) and often state-sanctioned)? What other religion forces the covering, oppression and subjugation of women (again, often state-sanctioned by governments that follow Sharia). Julius Grey is clearly has no interest in the equality of rights of women.

MONTREAL – Author Djemila Benhabib, on trial for slander for comments made about a Muslim private school, testified Wednesday that the religious instruction offered at the school has no place in Quebec.

Benhabib said alarm bells went off when she read the Qur’anic passages children attending the Muslim School of Montreal were made to memorize. The passages, which she called “an offence to human dignity,” spoke of the beautiful virgins awaiting male believers in the afterlife, while non-believers endured “scorching fire and scalding water.”

She was equally alarmed by photos on the school’s website showing girl students as young as nine all wearing the Islamic headscarf.

In the 2012 radio interview that landed her in court, Benhabib said children attending the school underwent indoctrination “worthy of a military camp in Afghanistan or Pakistan.” She added that the school’s model society is one where women are submissive and men commit honour crimes against their sisters.

Testifying as the only defence witness, Benhabib said her family left Algeria for France when Islamic fundamentalists gained more power. She arrived in Quebec in 1997.

“The school’s societal model is not the Quebec societal model,” she said. “It is not Quebec values.”

She said her comment about military camps was not intended to refer to terrorist training camps, as alleged in the school’s lawsuit. She was referring to a hierarchical atmosphere, where there is no room for questioning and texts are interpreted literally, she testified.

Benhabib added she recognized her comments could be hurtful, but she stands behind them. “My criticism was severe because what I saw was serious,” she said.

Cross-examined by the school’s lawyer, Julius Grey, Benhabib acknowledged that she has not spoken out against sexism in religions other than Islam.

When her lawyer objected, questioning the relevance of the question, Grey told the court he was trying to demonstrate that Benhabib “has an obsession with Islam.”

She acknowledged that she had not conducted deep research into the school before writing a blog post about it and giving the radio interview. She never contacted the school to make inquiries and she never visited.

Instead she relied on a promotional pamphlet she was sent and the school’s website.

“The Internet site was a window into the school,” she said. “It gave me a precise idea of what goes on at the school.”

Benhabib’s books chronicling her struggle against Islamic fundamentalism have won prizes, and she has become a leading voice in favour of secularism in Quebec.

But Grey sought to undermine her credibility by introducing into evidence a ruling from the Quebec Press Council this year finding she plagiarized material in a column published online in 2014-15.

The school is seeking $95,000 in damages. The president of the school’s board of directors testified earlier Benhabib’s interview had caused a decrease in enrollment and created a state of panic as teachers and students feared repercussions for being likened to terrorists….

Wow now that’s the perfect ludicrous Islamic Catch-22 isn’t it? :
“The president of the school’s board of directors testified earlier Benhabib’s interview had caused a decrease in enrollment and created a state of panic as teachers and students feared repercussions for being likened to terrorists….”
They can DO it and pretend it’s otherwise (though we know they follow the nasty Koran like parrots) but we can’t CALL it like it is and thus they can keep doing it and scare away the brazen kufar trying to protect their own culture and country against an avowed enemy called Islam (and don’t let the front line troops fool you.) We’ll topple soon if this goes on.

I’ve been watching this video by Ann Barnhardt and she has good advice: we’ve GOT to stop calling this turkey dinner for fools a RELIGION. I’m pleased that I’ve at least been putting it in brackets but I think her way would be best:

This is awful. This woman should be supported for telling the truth. Is Quebec under the sharia law and is this why she is being sued?? Quebec wakeawful.The islamonazis are destroying your country from within!!!!

Tommy , Tommy Tommy What do you think Hillary , Obama , and all the rest of the PC. radical left are conservatives. You have 50 million people on food stamps……….an immigration policy that lets millions in for cheap labor . A government that lets their diplomats die in foreign countries , an FBI director that is on the Clinton payroll jihad terrorists roaming at will , a world that hates you and sees you as weak and you think Canada sucks you are one fucked up dude……………..

They are liberal socialists! Insane Max! I been to Canada several times and heard their radio stations….Canada trulely SUCKS ASS! Lazy socialists! Want every thing handed to them….. and their beer sucks too!

Far from being negative this is a good chance for Quebec to see just what shit they have gotten themselves into ……………I am sure that during the trial issues as to whether the operations of the school did in fact do what the author suggests …………if so………….I would suggest that the board of Education ………..close this jihad school immediately ………….

There is more than one muslim school in Montreal . Nobody seem to see what is coming on. Saint-Laurent City suburb is quite islamized by now , same thing for Nouveau -Bordeaux. Saint -Michel area is called: Small -Maghreb and there is often troubles between gangs. It’s coming a no go zone and a part of Saint-Leonard City is also islamised too. In many public schools , muslims are 60 % and over. Some schools are over 90 %. There is no possibility to integrate them.

If you pass by medical clinics in these areas you will see that waiting rooms are mostly occupied by young pregnants women with already one or two children .

In Montreal -Nord city , most of the schools have build extensions to catch up all these new kids.

Since everything goes on in arabic , most peoples don’t see what is going on. There is no political will to do anything . Federal , provincial and municipal authorities are all members of the LIberal party .

Muslims schools are the most threatening for the future. Childrens there “pray ” like in Middle East .

I saw a short documentary on Canadian tv news and children were repeating the ” prayers ” after the teacher. I couldn,t not understand what they were saying , it was in arabic but there was subtitles. They were saying some things as : ” Hate to the Jews , Hate to the infidels , kill the infidels etc…” They were 5 years old boys and girls !!! Just a few kilometers further there is an important Jewish community . What will happened when these children will be 20 years old? We are importing Middle East in America .

Carmel I believe you’re absolutely right that there is no possibility to integrate them – not with *that* “religious” baggage. They don’t understand integration because they’re in a mental box – they want a piece of our land and the message to us is that we’d better not EVER try to get it back. They have lawyers and Gulf oil backing and a truly *rich* “religious” heritage after all.
In Nov. 2015 Trudeau’s new Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland was on the Bill Maher Show and she was (or should have been) a real embarrassment to the new Trudeau regime. Her positivity and political correctness re Muslims was quite amateurish and her attempts to spar with Bill Maher (of ALL people – the wonderful man who gave us RELIGULOUS) left him aghast and disbelieving!
We’re ALL in trouble. Trudeau looks too pollyanna and lefty. I think Harper had a far better grasp of what was coming. I hope America gets really tough and sets a ruthless example to the world.

This woman should have Robert Spencer by her side. Perhaps he could write to her and offer some advice, if it’s not too late. Of course, one would hope this woman is capable at least of using the internet and availing herself of the wealth of information that is, thankfully, available these days.

Believe it or not ,Julius Grey was born in Poland to a jewish famil and came to Canada when he was 9 in 1957. As a lawyer , he is powerful and famous in all Canada. With such a lawyyer , Montreal muslims might win.

To know more about Canada on these issues go to REBEL MEDIA or Gad Saad on YT.

I’m fairly certain that Grey isn’t working for the school out of moral conviction that islam is a religion of peace. It’s all about that $$$ for which most bloodsuckers (aka lawyers) would sell their soul to. And since all madrassas are funded by islamic organizations, money isn’t a problem for them; after all, you can’t hire one of Canada’s best lawyers for petty change. It’s entirely likely that Grey knows exactly who he is representing since he’s also a Jew, but he chooses to ignore it for personal profit.

Grey doesn’t seem to fear anybody . He went on trial against federal government , provincial government , Catholic Church nobody is too big for him. he always use the Chart of (individual ) Rights. he even pleaded for the karpan ( Sikh ‘s knive) in elementary schools!!!!

Enough of kindness to the undeserving and ungrateful mulims .These are always sharia fed ,and driven by their uncouth ulemas. They come as beggars and destitutes , then multiply like nasty pigs and then start claiming the land that once accommodated them out of pity . There is nothing like moderate muslim,or islam without jihad .
Is there still time left, I wonder, for the West to learn more about these vile creatures before going for the action that is urgently needed against these.???
Islamic infection is in its advanced stage in Europe and the USA is a little away !
Enough of political correctness.
Enough of pity.
And then, ENOUGH of STUPIDITY.
Now come out like a man to save your family from becoming slaves of the muslims , whom you once provided with asylum to save their families from the hands of their own people !
A muslim knows not gratefulness, because it is not there in their vicious religion,islam.
And it is knowledge enough to deal with muslims, anywhere and everywhere .

The Infidel Imam says, this case is merely another in the long line of Islamic attempts to shut down criticism of their conquest. This brave lady should be celebrated and not persecuted for exposing the truth. How long before cases like this start in the US? Then Pamela Geller, the Lioness of Judah, and Robert Spencer, the great Infidel Ulema, will be taken to trial. Sheykh Yer Weeni hopes that never happens. As for Djemila Benhabib in Quebec, may she be protected and vindicated.

Cross-examined by the school’s lawyer, Julius Grey, Benhabib acknowledged that she has not spoken out against sexism in religions other than Islam.

When her lawyer objected, questioning the relevance of the question, Grey told the court he was trying to demonstrate that Benhabib “has an obsession with Islam.”
___________________________________________

Is Grey as stupid as he appears to be? This is only about this Islamist school. DUH. Is he defending the offensive beliefs and practices of all schools in the world or is he defending just this one? Why does he seem to have an obsession with the practices and beliefs of this school?

This is a typical Muslim Islamist reaction – play the victim rather than the oppressor. If the school and it’s “religion” are so innocent, they could easily show that their practices and beliefs aren’t sexist.

There is no room for these schools in Canada. They are only children now but will be bringing this hateful ideology in their futures. What about our Democratic Canadian grownup children. They will be a minority and with a high Muslim birth rate, they are doomed.

Benhabib added she recognized her comments could be hurtful, but she stands behind them. “My criticism was severe because what I saw was serious,” she said.

Cross-examined by the school’s lawyer, Julius Grey, Benhabib acknowledged that she has not spoken out against sexism in religions other than Islam.

Usual sand tossing. Whether or not she has addressed alleged sexism on other religions is completely unrelated to what she *saw* in that school. It’s similar, in nature, to the reaction of little kids caught doing something wrong. “But teacher, someone else was doing it too. Why are you only seeing what I’m doing?”

When her lawyer objected, questioning the relevance of the question, Grey told the court he was trying to demonstrate that Benhabib “has an obsession with Islam

Again: how is that relevant for what she *saw*? Let’s say she does, in fact, have an “obsession” for islam. So what? Does that invalidate what she’s describing? It’s just sand-tossing, and a lawyer resorting to that as a defence should be laughed off the Bar.

But Grey sought to undermine her credibility by introducing into evidence a ruling from the Quebec Press Council this year finding she plagiarized material in a column published online in 2014-15.

Canada’s newly minted PM . . . Justin (Clueless) Turdough hangs out with his Saudi buddy at a Wahhabi mooosque . . . where he donned the regailia and prostrated himself on a Prayer Rug and repeated the believers prayer . . .
Keybec is on the road to France . . .

Almost all muslims living in Quebec (Montreal ) have links with french muslims. They are mostly from Morocco and Algeria . They have links to peoples there , too. In summer , many muslims fly back to France , Morocco or Algeria for the summer. They miss 10 to 15 school days in june and about the same in september so to have low cost air fares. They even don’t stay for the exams. Some girls leave for their mariage to a cousin they never saw .It is like bingo .Jackpot or not .

When living in Quebec in the winter, they llive like if they were in North Africa. They all have satellite dishes on the roof and watch North African tv, go to the mosque , stay together , don’t mix with anyone ,speak only in arabic, go to their stores , used their illegal taxi system etc…

In a word , they take maximum and give minimum with condescendent manners. As you know ….of course.

The truth will set you free and save your life while others want to disclaim their own truth and sue you for speaking the truth. Only Islam does this, hey Islam its not slander when we infidels speak your Koran truth and sharia law, the thing is you cannot admit by sharia law that Islam is violent would rather use the presumed peaceful lie BS.
